Info

Playground Pier is a luxury shopping mall located on a four-story pier adjacent to Caesars in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It is connected to the casino via a second-story skybridge. Constructed by Perini Building Company of Framingham, MA, it was opened in 1906 as an amusement pier named the "Million Dollar Pier". The pier was converted to a mall and renamed "The Shops on Ocean One" in 1983, and in 2006 was purchased by Taubman Centers and extensively renovated.
The pier includes many upscale stores, such as Tourneau, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Armani A/X.
While the mall is built on land owned by Caesars Entertainment, the building itself is currently owned by mortgage lenders. Taubman Centers defaulted on its $135 million loan on the center in 2010, and it was taken over by its mortgage servicer, C-III Capital Partners. The lenders failed to successfully auction the mall and have hired Cushman & Wakefield to manage the center.
On June 26, 2015, "The Pier Shops at Caesars" was renamed "Playground Pier".
